Winners emerged recently at the 2024 Concours D’orthograph (French Language quiz) competition, which NaphyLanguageAcademy recently organised for primary and secondary schools in Lagos.

Isaac Oloniyo from Grace International School won a flatscreen TV for coming first in the primary category. 

Daniel Afamefuna, from Aquila Nidus Montessori School and David Oyedele, from Divine Children’s Place International, DCP, went home with bicycles and fans, respectively, for the second and third positions. 

In the secondary category, the winners got the same prizes as the primary schools for first, second and third positions.

The convener of Concours D’orthograph, Ngozi Nympha Eyo, explained that organising the quiz competition in French was to encourage excitement and fun in learning the language.  

The CEO of Naphy Language Academy said the idea behind the competition “is to encourage the learning of French,” the second-world accepted language, within the Anglophone-speaking countries. 

For the special guest of honour, the chairman/CEO of Torm Juns Consultants and the chairman of the board of trustees of Alliance Français, Mrs. Tosin Bakare, the quiz was a way of giving back to society. 

A participant, Kafinyin Orioye from Laraday School, said, “This is a good competition, and I am happy to participate. I hope to take top during next year’s edition.”
